My son started DCCA (Dale City Christian Academy) in September. Before he started there he was at a center in Centreville Va. I was not pleased with his academic growth. The center in Centreville was technology based and art based. They did not focus on curriculum or writing. My son is now writing and recognizing numbers and alphabets. He knows his vowel sounds and long and short sounds of the vowels. He is only 4 years old and can write and spell his name and certain words. His teachers Ms. Gillis and Ms. Deana and Ms. Stephanie are amazing. The principal and assistant principal Ms. Butler and Ms Murphy are sweet, amazing women. I am so happy with his progress. They are very structured and academically amazing. Not only that but they learn about CHRIST which is number one for my family.
